Tell the media Portland's story

Portland has seen 100 jobs lost at its long-standing wind tower manufacturer, Keppel Prince Engineering, and the flow-on effect will begin to be felt in the town in the coming months. And that's before other companies servicing the wind industry begin to lose work as it dries up, because there's little new investment in the technology thanks to political dithering on the Renewable Energy Target. We also have restrictive planning laws in Victoria that are limiting the growth of new projects. What can you do about this? Write to newspapers to let their readers know how these policies are effecting or are expected to effect you. If we don't have our say, who will?
